'Thisinv'e'ntion aims toprovide improvements in a separable fastener. i. Y I In the'drawings, wh'ch'illustrate a'pre- 'ferred and two modified forms of my invention: I

Figure 1 is a front elevation of the preferred form of fastener; v

I Fi 2'is a s'ectionon the line 2-2 of Fig. '1, being partly in elevation andshowing a stud Secured to a rigid'support, a stud and socket secured to a flexible support and a socket secured vto a-second flexible support,

all'of which are secured to each other;

Fig. 31s a front elevation, cross-section and rear elevation respectively of the pre ferred'form of fastener-stud; Fig. 4 is a longitudinal section of a modified form of fastener stud; and

Fig; 5 is a longitudinalsection of a second modified form of fastener stud. Referring to the drawings and to the pre- 5 ferred form of my invention illustrated in connection with Figs. 1, 2 and 3, 'I have shown, for illustrative purposes only, the manner inwhich two curtains may be secured to the body of an automobile, and the use of my invention-which pertains to the attaching means and means for supporting the attaching means asshown' in combination with the stud which is secured (Fig. 2) to the inner curtain. g

While the stud, as illustrated in Fig. 2, is shown in connection with a socket secured to the opposite face of the same curtain, it will be understoodthat the same stud may be secured to a curtain at one side thereof without the use of a socket at the opposite side stud 1 secured to the body 2 of an automobile, or the like, and the construction of the studis substantially as shown and described in United States Letters Patent No.'1,433,783 issued October 31, 1922, to Carr Fastener Company, assignee of Moses F. Carr.

The inner curtain 3 presents at its inner face a socket4containing a spring 5 for engagement with the neck of the stud 1. At the opposite side of the curtain 3, I have provided a second stud 6, which presents means for securing it and the socket 4 to thecurtain 3.

Heretofore, studs of a similar construction tothe oneherein illustrated have been assembled with three parts, namely, a socketa separate plate for back-supporting the rivetwlnle it is being upset against a suitable clench plate to secure the stud to a supengaging stud 6, being a head 7, neck 8 and base portion 9, and a dish-shaped disc or flange 10 secured to said base and presenting a tubular rivet 11. r

- The rivet in this instance, instead of bein supported by a separate plate, is supported by the closed end of a depressed portion 13 pressed from the head of the stud toward the base thereof.

.The depressed portion 13, as illustrated, seats against a bossed portion 13 pressed from the flange '10 of the rivet, thereby forming a strong, rigid support for the rivet when.

it is being headed over to securethe stud 6 to one side of the curtain 3 and the socket to the other side, as illustrated in Fig. 2. -A second socket 14 substantially like the socket 4 is secured to the outer curtain 15 by a rivet 16 held in a cap 17 at the opposite side of the curtain, and this socketmay be en'- gagedwith the stud 6, as illustrated.

Thus by .means of the above-mentioned separable fasteners, the curtains 3 and 15 may be secured to the body 2 of the automobile, as illustrated in Fig. 2.

Referring now to the modified form of my invention, as illustrated in Fig. 4, I have shown a stud 18, a rivet 19 and a depressed portion 20 for supporting the rivet.

In this instance, the depressed portion eX- tends only aslight distance toward the base of the stud and the bossed portion 21 of the rivet extends upwardly from the flange 21 of the rivet a relatively greater distance than the bossed portion 13 of the preferred form of rivet.

The second modified form of my invention, illustrated'in Fig. 5, shows a still further construction of rivet-supporting means.

The stud 22,as illustrated, includes a rivet 23 which has no bossed portion as shown in the other forms of my invention. In this instance, the depressed portion 24 extends a relatively greater distance toward the base of the stud than in the preferred form of my invention, thereby to support the rivet without the use of a boss.

While I have shown and described prethe preferred form of my invention,

engaging part, a rivet or attaching part and 1 ferred end modified forms of embodiments of my invention, it will be understood that changes involving omission, alteration, sub stitution and reversal of parts, and even changes in the mode of operation, may be made without departing from the scope of my invention, which is best defined in the following claims.
